I think in everyone's rush for "convergence" they just forgot about the desktop. Exactly. "Desktops are dead" has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. For most users a new desktop computer wouldn't give them any significant benefits over the 5 year old one that they already have, so of course they're not going to buy one. Meanwhile, if hardware and software manufacturers had actually come up with ways to take advantage of their massive CPU and GPU power, we could have 50" displays at 8000x5000 pixels, eye tracking, gesture control, and who knows what else.
